Attention parents of college kids:. If you want them to pay for next yearโs tuition, send them to Umpire training school immediately when they return home this summer and they can work every single day all summer long and make an absolute killing. The umpire shortage is real!.

Iโm sorry but can we eliminate the word โUncommittedโ from in front of any player younger than Class of 2023?!?! Letโs call them what they are. FRESHMEN IN HIGH SCHOOL! Iโm well aware the landscape of recruiting has changed, but letโs not put unnecessary pressure on KIDS.

Donโt just read the title. Read the article and quotes. If you DONโT want your kids coached to act like winners when they win or lose, then YOU have no business being involved. I coached against Mike & he has always been a respectful competitor. Hope people do the right thing.
A coach delivered an angry, profanity-laced speech to members of the #NorthAttleboroMA High Schoolโs varsity baseball squad last spring in what one parent is complaining was an abuse of the players.

Dear HS Athletes, you NEED to be the one communicating with your coaches. It's tough to have a true/positive relationship with a player when you only hear from the parent. Parents, when there is something that needs to be relayed to the coach, teach your child how to communicate.

Why being 5-10 mins late for practice IS A BIG DEAL. Team done w/ warm ups by time U arrive. โก๏ธ Team throws while U warm up. โก๏ธ Team into skill session & U need someone to throw with. โก๏ธ Teammate has to throw w U & lose own time OR coach throws w U & team loses coach for drills.

Mansfield's season comes to an end after 10-7 (10-inn) loss to Walpole in D1A Tournament. Hornets finish season 19-5, Hockomock Kelley-Rex Division Champs, and the 1st team in school history to make the Super 8. It was one for the record books! Our seniors will surely be missed!.

In April 2017, Tyler was told he had a stress fracture in his back and would not be able to play his JR season. It devastated him, but he never quit. Now, he is the MVP & will take the mound in arguably the biggest game in school history today. So proud of you TD. NOT DONE YET!
TD = MVP!.Mansfield's Tyler Dalton is voted as the 2018 Hockomock League's Most Valuable Player. Dalton proved to be a dual-threat on the mound and at the plate this season in leading his team to a league championship!. 6-1, 41.1 IP, 59K. 431 AVG, 3 2B, 3 3B, HR, 27 RBI

Piece of advice to HS players looking to play at the college level: .Many colleges are wrapping up their fall seasons this weekend. Get out and watch. Know the level of play at that school/conference/division so you have an idea of what it actually takes to play at that level.

Random Thought on MA HS Baseball. Why not change the structure from Freshman/JV to something like "Sub-Varsity 1" and "Sub-Varsity 2"? All Fr/So/Jr eligible for both rosters. The freedom it gives coaches/programs to provide more playing time and challenges with less restriction.

Since nobody asked, here is my opinion. 5 years to play 4 seasons of college athletics. Thatโs it. Injuries, certain circumstances are unfortunate so extra year built in is very fair but beyond that is just creating complication for all. Sometimes life isnโt fair. Move on.
